Great idea for a wineglass rack!

Repurposed chairs into a cute corner bench

A new friend (Betty) shared her bench with me on Facebook. Betty doesn't have a blog, but you don't need a blog to be featured on My Repurposed Life. I love great repurposed items. Betty repurposed 4 chairs into this oh so cute bench!

  • This quirky, double wide sized pallet wood chair is all decked out, ready for a great summer read.
  • Two pallets, 4 legs and two armrest boards are really all it took. So easy! The trick is to ensure you find two pallets that are similar in size.
  • Let's add more quirk to make it totally yours! This signboard was used as an armrest. Note how wide the board is... perfect for my coffee cup. Priorities here...
  • This leg has an antique level attached. This project is a little like 'Where's Waldo's Wild Additions?'
  • Pallet markings were celebrated by placing them in prominent places. Coffee bean sacks acting like large pillow cases were just tucked in place. No sewing required. 2
  • For the legs, a little bracing was required inside the pallet so the leg had something to stabilize against.
  • Tell me that isn't one big cool chair to curl up in! But let's add some comfort...
  • 5" foam cut to size (new from a foam shop) was key for the ultimate comfort.
  • This is a pallet SOFA I made last year, decked out in total bohemian style craziness. The build is much more size customized: http://www.funkyjunkinteriors.net/2011/08/how-i-built-pallet-sofa-part-2.html

A two pallet chair ANYONE can build in a jiffy!

There's nothing like a need to bring on a new project!

pallets and little more. I kid you not! This is the easiest build in the world and you'll wonder why you didn't think of it first!

  • Build a simple firepit with pavers and a firebowl. We got our firebowl from Lowe's for less than $80.
  • Stack pavers on level ground. We put ours on our concrete patio.
  • For a 35" firebowl we used 48 pavers and stacked them 4 layers high.
  • Easy to move if needed, simple and inexpensive! 1

How to Build A Firepit

We built this simple firepit at the end of the summer and it only takes 30 minutes to put it together!

Upcycle: Baby Changing Table to Desk

I picked up this incomplete baby changing table from atrash pile. If you'll notice, there are only 2 support beams, and two shelf pieces,therefore I couldn't just reconstruct this as a ...»
baby changing table. I love challenges like this!

I tossed around a few ideas: a tree swing, a bench and a desk.

I went with the desk because I don't have a good tree swing worthy branch and I don't need another bench.

What do you have in your house that could be converted into something more useful or needed in your life?
